		My discussion post for the day:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			You make a good point about cancer screening.
			Personally, I almost never think about cancer.
			When I do, I feel my body to try to find any strange lumps that might&apos;ve grown, but this is something people should be doing at least once each month.
			I go several months at a time without even considering the possibility of cancer though.
			It&apos;s something I should think about more often.
			School keeps me rather busy, but I should at least be thinking about this between terms.

	<h2>A bicycle with a cargo box</h2>
	<p>
		My mother brought me bicycle with a cargo box attached to the back.
		It should make trips to Eugene, as well as grocery shopping, much easier.
		Normally, I use a backpack for groceries.
		It&apos;s a bit painful for my back.
		For $a[EUGLUG] meetings, I gave up trying to haul my laptop and water bottles on my back, and started attaching a crate to the front of my bike to haul what I need in.
		Still, it causes balance issues that must be (mostly subconsciously) corrected for, which is a strain on - you guessed it - my back.
		It&apos;s not as bad as a heavy backpack, but it&apos;s unpleasant.
		A box attached to the back of the bike should work a lot better.
	</p>
	<p>
		At her request, I tried the bike a bit in the parking lot.
		It handles oddly; it&apos;s like learning to bike all over again.
		I keep hitting my knees on my hands too, due to the odd position of the handle bars.
		I should be able to get used to it though.
		And if not, I can move the cargo box to my other bicycle.
	</p>
	<p>
		She also brought me some weird garlic sauce she thought I&apos;d like.
		It&apos;s way too strong though.
		When I talked to her, she seemed to think I like strong garlic, but I like garlic better as something that adds to existing flavour, not takes over as the only discernible flavour.
		Additionally, the main ingredient is oil.
		I&apos;m not sure what she was thinking on that one; she knows I&apos;m trying to lose weight.
		I figured I&apos;d put up with it to be polite, but when she said that she enjoyed the sauce and that it was expensive, that&apos;s when I had to give it back.
		I won&apos;t appreciate the sauce like she will.
		Or much at all, really.
		I appreciate the thought, but the sauce itself isn&apos;t for me.

<section id="deposit">
	<h2>Bottle deposit credits</h2>
	<p>
		I checked with the bottle redemption centre.
		Several stores accept the bottle deposit credits, but only at three of these can you redeem the 20% bonus credit.
		The ones without the bonus credit are less interesting, because they&apos;re not the ones you&apos;re being bribed to spend your money at.
		The three stores the bottle redemption centre is bribing people to spend money at are indeed grocery stores.
		However, they&apos;re three of the most expensive grocery stores in the area.
		Most poor people are probably better off just taking the cash and heading to WinCo, a ceap grocery store just across the street from the redemption centre.

<section id="prank">
	<h2>A prank at work</h2>
	<p>
		I&apos;ve been planning a prank for a few days now, and finally got to put it into action.
		I moved all the cash in the register I was working to under the cash drawer&apos;s tray, where it was safe but wouldn&apos;t be seen, then put a bunch of play money in the tray.
		Then, I waited for one of the managers to try to do a cash drop.
		Thankfully, I was nearby when the trap was sprung, so I held tight and waited for their reaction.
		They pretty much froze, with an amused look on their face.
		When they started talking, they couldn&apos;t keep from laughing.
		Mission accomplished.
	</p>
	<p>
		I&apos;d like to try something next week too, but am unsure what it will be just yet.
